Hey, I’m Sophie,
The London Private Tutor 👋
A Little About Me…
After studying at the University of St Andrews, I began my career in investment banking before qualifying as a secondary school teacher. I combine my experience working within schools with a strong understanding of the selective school application process.
I offer 1-to-1 tutoring in GCSE and A Level English, support with essay-based subjects such as Religious Studies and Philosophy, and entrance exam preparation in Maths, English, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, as well as interview preparation. I’ve helped students secure places at highly selective schools and sixth forms across the UK.
Every child has the potential to be great, and I enjoy seeing the confidence that comes when a student achieves something they once thought was out of reach.
I work flexibly, offering sessions at my home in Clapham, in students’ homes, or online. I’m DBS-checked and first aid trained, and my approach is friendly, personalised, and focused on helping students achieve their best results.

Don’t Just Take My Word For It…
My Confidence Has Grown Massively
“Sophie has been helping me prepare for my English and World Civ lessons since July last year. We have been looking at Macbeth, and she has really helped me understand the text before I get to each class. My confidence has grown massively, and I achieved really great scores in my recent end-of-semester tests.”
— Alex, 15Sophie Went Above and Beyond
“Sophie helped me prepare my two children, Adrian (8) and Felicity (6), for their 7+ and 9+ exams.
Both are currently in the state system, and we wanted to support their transition to highly selective prep schools. Sophie went above and beyond, working with the limited time we had, and both children got into their chosen schools - we couldn’t be happier! Her interview advice was also extremely helpful.”
— Amy, Adrian and Felicity’s MumVery Impressed by the Improvements We’ve Seen
“Sophie is currently working with my two children, aged 5 and 7, to help their literacy and numeracy skills. We had been concerned about their progress at school, and we’ve been very impressed by the improvements we’ve seen and the genuine enthusiasm they now have for learning with her. Sophie always comes up with fun and creative ways to make lessons engaging and enjoyable.”
